Thief Review (PS4)

Reboots have a hard road to travel. On one hand, you don’t want to disappoint the jaded fans of the original work, so there is a certain obligation to bring in familiar elements. On the other, you want to make sure that the game effectively meets expectations of the modern day, as many tropes from the past have simply become dated and surpassed with advancements…

  • Light/Dark stealth gameplay works well.
  • Throwback to original stealth games.
  • Hoarding things can be fun...
  • There is an interesting twist mid-game that makes for an entertaining chapter.
  • Too many long loading screens.
  • No real evolution or reward to gameplay.
  • ...until you realize you have a problem with hoarding every spoon and letter opener.
  • Story is disjointed and has stuttered flow.
  • Game simply feels dated.
